(Video) Chicago Teachers Union boss on the wealthy: "Off with their heads"

"We are in a moment when the wealth disparity in this country is very reminiscent of the robber baron ages," Lewis blared. "The labor leaders of that time, though, were ready to kill. They were, they were just ready, it was like 'off with their heads!' They were seriously talking about that."

"I don't think we're at that point," she continued, "And that's scary to most people. But the key is they think nothing of killing us. They think nothing of putting our people in harm's way. They think nothing of lethal working conditions."
